what can you tell us about the nsa's response? >> joy, i can tell you that the nsa is holding a conference call as we speak. i ran outside after having listened to part of that call to give you the latest information. it's being conducted by jim delong, the director of compliance with the nsa. and so far, he's made a few points in an attempt to push back against that "washington post" article. first he said no one at the nsa tolerates mistakes or thinks that mistakes are okay. when mistakes are determined they try to correct eb them as quickly as possible. he tried to put the number of mistakes into context, that report of thousands of instances, he made the point that over the course of just one month, the nsa conducts about 20 million queries. so according to mr. delong, the fraction of mistakes is really minuscule when you look at that 20 million figure. and then he also made one more point, joy, which is that some of those mistakes occurred with foreign nationals. so he really tried to put this into that broader context to tam

now the story today is, look at how the fisa court slammed the nsa, sort of like we have to pick which boat we want to ride on. the story today, the opinion today goes to underscore what folks like i have been saying all along, that the fisa court is not only looking at warrants, they are looking at the entire process of the system, and what was done in this application to say we want to keep going with the process is the fisa court went into extremely excruciating detail about is the nsa complying with the fourth amendment and the law? they found that, as you go down the system, what they are -- in the vast majority of it, but they have this one element of the program -- >> mean not getting americans' data if they can? >> no, not getting it kept in the system. that's it. >> right. >> and what they want is, no, that's not in compliance. >> okay. >> so the nsa went away and fixed it a month later. that's what we're dealing with, and they reported it to congress a month after that. the system that was found to be constitutional, because you ended up with they could see i sent you an e-ma

i want to go right to pete williams on the nsa. pete, you heard the president lay out four changes that he wanted to make, reforming section 215 with new safeguards, greater transparency and also the creation of some kind of new independent body. your reaction to the president on the surveillance issue. >> right. what the president said is that he's willing to look at the issue of having an adversary before the foreign intelligence surveillance corps, one of the criticisms of it is that the only people who ever appear before these judges in secret are the government. nobody's there to argue against or say the government doesn't need this and shouldn't have it. the president has said he's willing to look at an adversary to represent in essence civil liberties interests. he didn't say he was committed to it. he said he was willing to consider it. apparently this is something the government is seriously considering doing. making more public information about how these programs work putting up a website to explain them and bringing in

there was a recent report in the "washington post" about the error rate among the nsa and peter king characterized it this way. listen to this and respond. >> no, there is not a problem. it worked. if you have 99.9% compliance and self-reporting errors, these came from an internal report which then becomes part after overall ig report. i'm on the intelligence committee. i am satisfied we are told what the nsa is doing. >> ryan, what is the seriousness of this latest report? >> that's troubling to people is the lack of transparency. if the nsa is doing perfectly fine and that these errors are nothing to worry about, then tell the public about these errors and explain them to the public. you know, their power to do this comes from the public. they're more responsible to them than they act like they are. >> tilled add probably some people are troubled also by the fact we now have green wald deciding what to declassify. thank you very much, to ryan grim as well as jonathan capehart. thank you both. >> we'll be right back to clear the air.

it covers trayvon martin and the economy to nsa, edward snowden. it was important because the president actually hasn't said a lot in public on some of those issues. and he obviously wants to use this format to talk to a lot of people who maybe aren't loyal msnbc or even fox news viewers who like this format and it's an easy way to connect with a broad section of america. >> right, abbey, the president's old pal, mitt romney, was also making an appearance last night. this was before the new hampshire republican committee, a much smaller room, perhaps. he did mention a, quote, growing gap between the wealthy and those who are not, as something he's now concerned about. is that the same mitt romney who dismissed half the country as being feckless free loaders less than six months ago? >> i don't think so. it's a different mitt romney. we have seen a number of mitt romneys, but i think the mitt romney who spoke last night is more of the real "morning rush." he also spoke out -- spoke to a number of members, republicans in the house. >> he was being mo
